The Hottest Sushi Bakes

Just when we think sushi bake has become a thing of the past, Quisine brings the food trend to new heights

It’s not a sushi roll, and it’s not casserole either. The sushi bake is the creamy, nori-wrapped, rice-stuffed bite that re-emerged and became a food trend due to this year’s unforeseen health crisis. Many owners and businesses have latched on to the deconstructed sushi roll craze, and while there are numerous shops currently offering the dish adding different twists to it, from a California Maki style that has extra kani, mango, and roe to the Salmon Teriyaki with torched salmon and cream cheese, the sushi bake is slowly losing hype. Except, the trend is not entirely lost as a young brand consisting of friends from rival universities has just created two new variants that are unique and definitely worth the try.

The best things in life happen unexpectedly. This has been the mantra that the owners of Quisine collectively believe in since they first came together to set up the brand. The group is composed of fresh graduates from LaSalle and Ateneo, who share the same eagerness in striving for excellence.

“This pandemic has obstructed the plans we had for ourselves and for our careers. We all had the same frustration and eventually decided to come together to make something good out of the bad and translate negativity to productivity,” said Pierce Joshua Ongchan, the sales and customer relations head of Quisine.
